Record turnout at San Diego Go Club winter soiree

Setting an all-time record, more than 50 people attended the San Diego Go Club’s "winter" soiree at club president Ted Terpstra's home on Sunday, December 3. The quarterly event, which features AGA-rated games and pizzas has become a southern California go fixture for the last seven years. The soiree enables go enthusiasts from the several go clubs in southern California to play self-paired games and socialize in a pleasant surrounding.

Players aged 7 to over 70, ranging from beginners to professionals came to play, hailing from Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside County, UCSD, North County Go Club, San Diego east county, the Chinese bookstore in San Diego and the regulars from the San Diego Go Club. People started coming at 11:30 a.m. and some stayed until 8:30 p.m. analyzing games. Free pizza, thanks to the AGA rewards program, cake (thanks to a donation) and beverages (thanks to the president) were served to all who stayed to socialize at 5 p.m. Best quote of the day: "The president needs to buy a larger house." photos by Ted Terpstra
